Yumi nodded and sat there for a few moments. "They're taking Brett away from me." She mutters still looking down. "His biological parents came back, and seeing as he was found they have full rights on him"

"Oh Yumi, I'm so sorry," I say softly.

"Nothing I can do." She mutters. "They're not even gonna let me see him. Takeing him to Wales or something..."

"I'm really sorry Yumi," I say, not sure what else I could say.

Yumi shrugged.
"He's leaving tomorrow morning."

"Well, you've got a little while to say goodbye at least?" I say.

"So shouldn't you be doing that now, rather than sitting here?" I ask, glancing up from her arms.

"Sirius took Fay somewhere to show him off to more of his friends, and I droped Brett and Mia off at Peters, wasn't gonna leave them home alone when I..." She trails off "Peter said he was taking them somewhere. They'll be back in a few hours."

I nod, not sure how to respond to that.

Yumi sits there for a few moments. "You and Maddie talking yet?"

"Yeah," I nod, "We're back together again."

"That's good." She says with a small smile."You both are lucky, you know that."

I nod, lump sticking in my throat. Hard to think of it as lucky at the moment.
"Not quite so lucky right now," I admit, quietly so she might not have even heard.

Yumi sat there looking at him with a confused look. She had heard 'Not' and 'Lucky' So she just assumed what he had said. "What happened?"

"She went into labour early," I mutter bracingly, straightening up as I finish cleaning her cuts, without meeting her eyes.

"Is she okay?" Yumi muttered bringing her arms to herself looking down at the cuts.

"She's fine, health-wise," I reply, trying hard to keep my voice level, "Twins were born underdeveloped. Trouble breathing."

"Are they going to be okay?"

"One of them is," I reply, glancing at her briefly before I have to drop my gaze again.

Yumi stayed silent, not sure of what to say.
She takes in a breath, "I'm so sorry Ian."

I shrug with forced indifference, "Don't be. Not your fault."

"Ian, you should just stop with this front. You can't act like you so calm about it."

"Well how else am I supposed to be about it?" I reply calmly, "I can't afford to fall apart right now because I still have Maddie and I still have one son to worry about."

Yumi nodded looking down. "What'd you guys name him?"

"Alex," I reply, sitting down on a chair opposite her, "Middle name's Rowan Gideon."

"What's he look like?" She muttered and brought a knee to her chest, still looking down.

"He's really small, so tiny. Maddie says he looks like me but..." I shrug, "I don't really see it."

"Then tell me how you see him."

"Small, fragile, he looks like he might break. No one should be that pale either," I mutter, "I see a baby in a glass box with too many tubes and things that I don't understand."
